And then there will be at hand many thousands of learned men of all pro- fesslons who will help the workers in that task of reconstruction, be- cause they see that they have to do with sensible and mentally independ- ent workers. They will lay down their learned prejudices which so long made them apprehensive of the turbulence of working people.
 They did not trust in the working classes, because they had learned from the study of history that work people were unable to govern them selves by the light of science and po- lltical experience. But history was always written by the enemies of the working people. When, from such books as those by Laurence Gron- lund, they learn the true inward hess of all political revolutions, to wit: that the cruelties and disorders so much complained of in all revolu- tionary periods, were always caused not by the working peoples own inclinations, but at the instigaton of hostile classes among the rulers and well-to-do people, and that now a-days the latter become independ- ent thinkers and able to govern themselves-then, and then only, will the honest learned men place their talents and skill at the service of the working masses.
 There is more, infinitely more knowledge, wisdom and proficiency in every nation of the civilized world than ever before, and when the work of the reconstruction of society can begin, it will be greatly aided by these mental riches in which our age glories. Mir. Gronlund has beauti- fully shown how, in an incredibly short time that France of the first revolution created a new legislation, d new education, q new financial order, new inventions and means of power in almost every direction, most of which, however, became af- forwards stunted and reversed by the forcible political reaction. But the great teachings of these glorious per formances are not lost. We have during the last hundred years real ized an incomparably greater scien tilic progress, and can build further on the then laid foundation with a much greater hope for success.

HONORABLE PRE-EMlNENCE.

Dr. Hammond, in recent newspaper article, says he is very confident from his own experience and the observance of many other physicians and intelligent laymen that American women "are pre- eminent among those of all civilized na- tions in their anxiety to escape the obli- gations that the bearing of children i'm pose" And yet the maternal instinct is as strong, we suspect. in American women as it ever was and strong enough The fact is that American women of this age more than any other women perhaps, have begun to know that they have a right to choose for themselves whether they will bear children or not, and right to regulate the matter by intelligent protective measures. They are less slav- ish in their obedience to their lords and masters and more disposed to disregard the dicta of ignorance and superstition in regard to the duties" of wives. This is right
 But to show that American women have less love for children than their grandmothers had requires that it be first shown that their grandmothers had choice in the matter of their sometimes prodigious increase, and acted with in telligent purpose in giving birth to large families This cannot be done. They multiplied their children, we suppose, be- cause they had to. not because they wished to, and of their immediate de scendants probably three-fourths came to unwelcoming homes. If this chapter of horrors could be opened and read it would reveal sickening tale of woman misery made dolbly agonizing by the hopelessness of escape and the utter flu tility of complaint. It is perhaps won der that the maternal instinct was not killed by its abuse.
 The woman who objects to the sacrifice of nearly all of her varied ambitions for the sake of populating the State, shows honorable self-respect. The half mourn ing face which Dr. Hammond puts on as he records facts that can hardly be dis puted shows a low regard for woman as an intellectual associate of man and no regard at all for her right to employ as she sees fit those faculties of the mind which in cultivation and use broaden the life of men and make men superior to women in almost every respect.

LIBERTY.
BY DR. A, DOUAI.
CONCLUSION.


 It is demagogy to hatter the work ing people, to tell them chat they are able to govern themselves and the State-whllc thus far they were al ways governed-and to fan their po- lltical passions in the service of par ties which serve in their turn the worst kind of men-the plutocracy, the public thieves and robbers But it is true wisdom and patriotism to teach the working people that, and how, they will be able at some time to really govern and help themselves, and to bring about golden age of liberty by self-thinking and self acting.
 We have seen that large numbers of workmen who enjoyed but scanty schooling have cultivated their minds by courageous study of good books, debates among themselves and logic al self-thinking, thus acquiring pro, liciency in sciences, arts and tech nics. And we have seen how such men as August Bcbel, Joseph Dletz- gen, and many Germans; Jules Guesde, Jules Malon, and many Frenchmen; Champion, Arch, and manyEnglishmen; Ira Stewart, John Swinton, J. Edward Hall, George McNeil, the Vrooman brothers, and many Americans, have seta glorious example in the requirement of polit- ical, economical and technical knowl edge, and have become teachers among their fellow sufferers. Seeing all this, we should be aware of the dawn of the new day of liberty.
 When Karl Marx, by studying among British workmen the laws of social development, became able to turn political economy upside down and traced new road to social pro- gress, and that thousands of workers have become able to fully appropri- ate by close thinking his scientific teachings and are of one mind now in their ideals-when we see this perfect unanimity in one and the same plan of political emancipation, then we may safely trust that the correct plan is now established, and that we cannot err in following 1t out in all countries in essentially the same way. Many thousands more of workers will study that plan, and when the time arrives that we shall overturn the present unjust laws and put an end to all exploitation, then there will be everywhere many self
 king workers who are able to
 he new society and liberty.

THE PRICE OF. BLOOD.
MRS. FRANCES A. BINGHAM.

A gathering darkness stretching From the west to the east see; A drear and gloomy etching
 lis the shade of the galows tree That is built on the sin of a nation, Who precious blood would spill For costly, dread oblation-
 And the nation must pay the bill Each free and brave soul sickens In the ghastly shadow cold, While the blood of Cain but thickens, And his murderous heart grows bold. He dreams that the club and halter Will silence the truths strong cry: With her votaries on the altar
 He can blazon instead, his lie. o, Humanity strange and cruel! For those who have loved it best, Those names like priceless jewel It should wear upon its breast, 1t covers with foul dersion.
 And rends and casts away; Blind to the heavenly vision,
 To its prophets deaf alway. It has furnished the axe and gallows, The stones and felon's cell For those who have turned its fallows, That its harvest might flourish well. But ye who would fain deliver,
 Send out your earnest thought Unsheath from your loves deep quiver Swift arrows with lightning fraught. Speed speed for the days are flying, Haste lest our hands we wet With the blood of martyrs, dying, With the tears of vain regret! Not for brave girls lover
 Would we make our bold, strong plea; Nor for him who may no more hover Sweet childhood upon his knee; But for those in want and sorrow, The homeless, the proletaire- Who will plead their cause tomorrow, And the gallows such fruitage bear? From the bloated dweller in palace, To the toiler, stolid and lean; From the hangman black and callous, To the judge of Plate mien, Whose silence or wordy clamor
 The vioce of God would still ,n vain for excuse will stammer
 When the nation must pay the bill

VIRGINIA DEMOCRACY.

1t is charged against the Virginia de-
mocracy,by their republican brethren, that
they desire to repeal internal revenue tax
alton, and unfortunately the charge cen
be maintained by some damaging testi-
mony. The purpose of the democrats in
endorsing its adjustment, of course, must
be to please the tobacco men. But, in al
lowing itself to go in this direction, the
party in Virginia veers from the course of
the general party-at least that portion
IN favor of tariff reduction, which consti-
tutes the great body of the demoo-
racy. 1t is evident to all
that the destruction of the internal
revenue tax would tend to necessltate the
keeping up of high tariff and give the
protectionists still further excuse for CON
tinuing the vast fraud and swindle on the
people, known as the high protection
tariff.
In this matter the party in Virginia
appears to be swinging out of line with
the national party, just as in Texas, at
the last convention it broke away from
its moorings in the local option bust
ness,

THE CHANGES NOT SUSTAINED.

The celebrated outrage cases from
Washington county have ended in smoke,
as was expected. One of the cases has
Just been tried, and the verdict rendered
amounts to an acquittal, and this was con-
sidered the strongest case the govern
ment had. The other cases were
continued by order of the court to the
next term.
When the cases we're first called ex-
ceptions we're filed to the indict-
ments by counsel for the defense
and fully argued before the
court by the able attorneys on both
sides. The judge, after due consideration
of the question involved and the argu-
ments and authorities presented, appeared
to be satisfied that the points made by the
defense were good, and stated to the at
torneys his intention of quashing three of
the indictments, and this fact was an
nounced in The STATESMAN; but after
wards, upon being called upon by
the government counsel for written
opinion or statement of his
reasons for quashing the indictments
to be sent to Washington, together with
copies of the indictments, the judge, in
order, as he puts it, to give the govern
ment a chance, changed his opinion and
decided to sustain all the indictments
The government counsel were allowed
to select their first case for trial, and they
took up what they considered the strong
est and best case, and, after thorough
investigation, they have failed to produce
the evidence necessary to prove the
charges.
The government has had chance and
has failed.
The defendants in these cases
have been brought here from
their homes and business and kept
here for weeks at heavy outlay of money
and serious loss of time to them and at
great expense to the government, and
after all nothing has been established
against them. The charges are about the
same in all the cases and failure in one
is failure in all, and SO the good name of
Washington county may be considered
indicated.
